Posted by: LexC Apr 7 2018, 05:15 PM
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Cuzzick, New Lexico for the commencement of proceedings for the 104th edition of the BuzzJack Song Contest. It is here that people from the far and wide of the BuzzJack World will come to confirm their participation. The rules of engagement are really quite simple and they be thus:
1. Anyone may participate if they are a registered member of BJSC. For information on registration, please refer to the New Country Registration Thread
2. Your entry must be submitted via the google form at the bottom of this page. Any confirmations received in a different way to this will not be counted.
3. Your song must not have been entered to a previous edition of BJSC.
4. You may not enter the same artist that you sent to BJSC 103.
5. You may not enter any artist that finished in the top 3 of BJSC 103 (Metroplane, Bree Runway, Freya Ridings or Eric Whitacre)
6. All entries will be subject to a Moderator Veto. If your song is deemed to be against the spirit of the competition you will be notified via PM that the entry has been vetoed. you will then be asked to reconfirm with a different song. For a full explanaition of the Veto Rules, please refer to the Veto Framework.
7. Due to failing to vote in the final of BJSC 103, #00274E, Alteria, Avalonia, Beaverdonia, Elëdan and United States of Jack are barred from entering this edition of BJSC.
8. No country that is currently permabanned from BJSC may enter BJSC.

10. The deadline for confirming an entry for BJSC 104 is 23:59 BST on Saturday 14th April

Confirmed!

TIME FOR SOME UPLIFTING TRANCE
Posted by: Addyland Apr 7 2018, 05:25 PM
Confirmed as well 
who is ready for some dramatic opera house?!!!
Posted by: Leonardo Apr 7 2018, 05:31 PM
Confirmed!
Posted by: Jade Apr 7 2018, 05:41 PM
Confirmed my 1990s drum and bass #longsongbloc instrumental banger *.* likely to cause reactions like this:
I uploaded it myself (unlisted right now so my 9 subscribers don't get an advantage x) as all of the versions on YouTube don't have the best sound quality. So hopefully it won't get taken down. Also, I found a 20 second video of a toy squirrel dancing to my song on YT so that will serve as the official promo video soon.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Apr 7 2018, 05:51 PM
Gone for an Indian-infused tropical house track that is very likely to once again come last.
Posted by: M. Apr 7 2018, 05:56 PM
Have confirmed something that realistically I'm not sure more than like 5 weirdoes will like but I enjoy it and wanted to share it trolol. plus Jade chose it, not me 
Posted by: Iz Apr 7 2018, 06:08 PM
Confirmed. Séyetana are going back to their roots (and for those of you newer to the contest, that doesn't mean anime, it means something else and it means HYPE).#briz
Posted by: Liаm Apr 7 2018, 06:09 PM
This contest already sounds v to my tastes xxxxxx
I've actually confirmed what I might usually call EDM noise for now, idk what subgenre but I love the vocals and the way it builds.
Posted by: Bré Apr 7 2018, 06:11 PM
Not even Unovia sending something that sounds Unovia friendly x
(Séyetana going metal again then? Hype x)
Posted by: Jade Apr 7 2018, 06:11 PM
T-Swizzle literally created 'Look What You Made Me Do' just for this moment. (hyped to find out what weird song I made you send
)
Posted by: Chez Wombat Apr 7 2018, 06:12 PM
Actually finding it a bit hard to pick between songs from this artist, so many wonderful seven minute witch house songs! *. I think I have my preferred one though. Get ready for a trip to the stars~
Also some of these descriptions are making me quite excited for this contest.
Posted by: M. Apr 7 2018, 06:15 PM
)well I DO hope you happen to be one of the 5 weirdoes who like it
(jk ur not a weirdo)
Posted by: danG Apr 7 2018, 06:19 PM
Trancaelanda are back this month!
Posted by: Addyland Apr 7 2018, 06:21 PM
I've actually confirmed what I might usually call EDM noise for now, idk what subgenre but I love the vocals and the way it builds.
Sounds like something I might stan...consider me hyped!!!
Posted by: Liаm Apr 7 2018, 06:22 PM
Wikipedia says techno/alt-R&B but I wouldn't really say that 
Posted by: Addyland Apr 7 2018, 06:24 PM
That sounds like Snake owns that page
.../jk.
Posted by: UltraReputation Apr 7 2018, 07:00 PM
Entered my return entry! You're not ready. x
Posted by: AH Gold Apr 7 2018, 07:05 PM
Confirmed
Posted by: BridgeCow Apr 7 2018, 07:14 PM
Confirmed! With an amazing progressive house/trance (?) banger, pls don't let me flop again xx
Posted by: Jüpiter Apr 7 2018, 07:17 PM
Confirmed! Less alt and weird this time than our last few 
Posted by: Vülker Apr 7 2018, 07:23 PM
Confirmed 
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 Apr 7 2018, 07:28 PM
Confirmed. Sent a song I found that actually sounds like it will do REALLY well for once, so expecting big things! 
ohmy.gif
Posted by: dandy* Apr 7 2018, 07:45 PM
Confirmed with something I may well change... it's just something I heard this week and found so catchy - although possibly could get annoying before the contest even opens!
Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 Apr 7 2018, 08:01 PM
Shall i go with a kinda lowkey indie bop, a hot mess electronic dance thing that idek how to describe but is kinda iconic??? Or a bit of dark-ish pop? I acc need help
Posted by: travis Apr 7 2018, 08:10 PM
Confirmed! May end up changing it, but only time will tell~
Posted by: BridgeCow Apr 7 2018, 08:10 PM
Hot mess electronic dance thing PLS
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 Apr 7 2018, 08:45 PM
x2
Taahino doesn't go dance much iirc so that would be interesting.
Posted by: Cameron Apr 7 2018, 09:11 PM
Hushkanukia are BACK!
Posted by: Jonjo Apr 7 2018, 09:15 PM
I've confirmed. Back to pop. *.*
Posted by: dandy* Apr 7 2018, 09:16 PM
I've changed my mind already and gone back to my favourite track right now... you will all need to give it time to grow though please x
Posted by: Harve Apr 7 2018, 09:22 PM
I will also be joining the #longsongbloc. BUT Plug can breath a sigh of relief as the runtime clocks in at mere 4:18. The song title, on the other hand, has 17 words, and I will insist on use of its full length at all times, regardless of any formatting problems that this may cause.
Posted by: King Rollo Apr 7 2018, 11:24 PM
Oh no! My record of longest BJSC song title with 'Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand' is under threat. I hope your 17 words are all short words.
Posted by: Dobbo Apr 8 2018, 12:36 AM
Gone for something sounding absolutely nothing like anything I've sent before, this should be interesting.
Posted by: Dexton Apr 8 2018, 02:19 AM
Confirmed! I've gone for funky dance this time, quite different from my previous entries but that might be a good thing Early Disclosure vibes x
Posted by: lotita. Apr 8 2018, 01:36 PM
ready to break my Q streak with some JPOP *.*
Posted by: lotita. Apr 8 2018, 01:38 PM
think 4 minute hate crossed with bang bang *.*
Posted by: Selena GoHome Apr 8 2018, 09:33 PM
i ended up just sending some maximalist synthpop, quite endearing and anonymous so i might stick with it
Posted by: Riser Apr 9 2018, 03:52 AM
I had a song saved for BJFestivalen but think I'm gonna send it now instead, it's a recycle of a former artist I've sent and would be more than special enough to mark my 40th entry! I love it even more than her previous entry and would have everything crossed that it does well.
Posted by: M. Apr 9 2018, 07:40 AM
Oh, welcome to the 40th entry club!!
Posted by: Tombo Apr 9 2018, 07:57 AM
I hope my song gets in, it seems to fit through the veto framework but time will tell
Posted by: cantthinkofaname Apr 9 2018, 08:39 AM
Confirmed, hoping to do better than fourth-to-last this time 
Posted by: Dexton Apr 9 2018, 10:01 AM
Count yourself lucky x
Posted by: cantthinkofaname Apr 9 2018, 10:04 AM
Huh?
Posted by: Mack. Apr 9 2018, 12:09 PM
Entered.
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner Apr 10 2018, 01:30 PM
Ashton has confirmed! Staying with Germany this month
Posted by: Liаm Apr 10 2018, 03:02 PM
Re-submitted, a pop bop with some rocky influence *.* It has of a bit of an odd post-chorus "drop" sort of thing for want of a better word but I was going off my other one whilst this grew.
Posted by: Iz Apr 10 2018, 03:24 PM
Ich auch! I'm surprised it's only the second time I've ever been to Germany, although I also went Danish for the first time last month so I'd say this year is me branching out a little.
Posted by: M. Apr 10 2018, 05:31 PM
I've gone to Bosnia and Herzegovina! Which is something pretty random for me but I enjoyed the trip Yay for a new nationality for my entries and of course I had to go check the 'Nationalities of your entries' thread to see what else has been entered from said country (if anything), the only thing that came up was a South Danaelanda entry! Maybe there have been others but they're just not listed there.
Posted by: Selena GoHome Apr 10 2018, 05:32 PM
omg my entry is japanese *.
Posted by: Bré Apr 10 2018, 05:37 PM

Maybe there have been others but they're just not listed there.There have been 3 Bosnian acts in Worldvision at least
(including a pretty great one from Lew in this year's edition x)After sending 3 new nationalities in the last 3 contests I'm going back to being boring and sending an American act again.
Posted by: M. Apr 10 2018, 05:43 PM
(including a pretty great one from Lew in this year's edition x)Oh why of course! I guess I was more interested in the regular contest in this case tho. That Lew entry was quite something, went to listen now *.* (but mine is completely different lol)
Posted by: Liаm Apr 10 2018, 05:43 PM
Finnish for me for the first time since Haloo Helsinki I believe!
Posted by: dandy* Apr 10 2018, 06:23 PM
Australian for me, in honour of SmileyKylie.
Posted by: danG Apr 10 2018, 08:01 PM
I'm going Moldovan for the first time!
Posted by: Berrier Cody Apr 10 2018, 08:04 PM
It’s another first for me, I’m going Dutch!
Posted by: Dobbo Apr 10 2018, 08:13 PM
American for me again, which didn't go too well the last time but hey ho.
Posted by: Chez Wombat Apr 10 2018, 08:14 PM
I’m going Russian, because isn’t that place just flavour of the month atm.
Posted by: LexC Apr 10 2018, 08:17 PM
(Re)confirmed a Brazillian tribal bop
Posted by: Addyland Apr 10 2018, 08:39 PM
I hope Thelonia makes a comeback this edition <3
Posted by: Oliver Apr 11 2018, 06:31 PM
Recycling Aeroche for a second month in a row (completely unintentional).
Posted by: Tombo Tingz Apr 11 2018, 06:37 PM
I've gone British
Posted by: LexC Apr 12 2018, 06:31 PM
Gentle reminder that you have until close of play Saturday to confirm an entry, so CONFIRM YOU BITCHES!
Posted by: HarryEzra Apr 12 2018, 09:26 PM
I don't see flynnonda on the list did our confirmation not come through?
Posted by: LexC Apr 12 2018, 09:29 PM
It did, I just hadn't updated the list yet [/flopmod]
Posted by: Jacob~ Apr 12 2018, 10:49 PM
Think I'll be confirming but not 100% decided yet, been keeping the deadline on my mind though!
Posted by: Jacob~ Apr 12 2018, 11:01 PM
Submitted a placeholder for now that I've been loving for months, tbh I'll probably leave it too, it's a great tune.
Posted by: Dexton Apr 13 2018, 11:12 AM
I'M RECONFIRMING
I found something way better from the same artist, bye bye Disclosure vibes

We're not sorry </3
omg Pnau *.*
Posted by: Jonjo Apr 13 2018, 12:05 PM
Gah. When you guys check the blog coverage, is that those that specify the remix? (Not arguing haha. Just interested coz I find the original a bit boring and the remix improves it tenfold/it's quite different to the original haha)
Booooo though 
Tryna find something to reconfirm with.
Posted by: cantthinkofaname Apr 13 2018, 12:26 PM
lmao had no idea PNAU had been attempted before since this is only my second contest. such an epic song and video tho 
Posted by: Vülker Apr 13 2018, 12:37 PM
Fair enough, I knew it was a stretch to confirm Tokyo Nights but I had to because the song just clicked with me from first listen, probably my favourite track of this year so far. Sorry to have given you the trouble!
I'll reconfirm plan B which was plan A before Tokyo Nights came about.
Posted by: Popchartfreak Apr 13 2018, 02:46 PM
confirmed, hoping it's not booted out as I quite fancy qualifying this time around, Singerpurear need some love
If not I'm going all out DNQ 60's girlie pop singalong
Posted by: Vülker Apr 13 2018, 03:04 PM
Well plan B has already been entered. Plan C I'm not too sure of and Plan D is a certified DNQ again so I don't have an entry.
Posted by: Berrier Cody Apr 13 2018, 03:15 PM
I say if you love it or not you send it and take the L
Surely Shaun Frank being sent twice sent some red flags?
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner Apr 13 2018, 04:47 PM
Yeah it is. The blog coverage list was substantially longer in 100 when the perfectly lovely and non-boring original version was vetoed

Thanks for clarifying though.
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner Apr 13 2018, 10:05 PM
I think the vetoes in 100 got overshadowed!!
No worries, always happy to clarify and demystify the process!
Posted by: FrankLuck Apr 14 2018, 06:05 AM
Really wanted to send pop to welcome back Sam + Cam aaaand finally I found something I'm really happy with 
(It's not the kind of pop that they would appreciate, but life is not perfect.)
Ready to take back my place at the bottom of the semi.
Posted by: Oliver Apr 14 2018, 07:23 AM
Just added a YouTube link in for my entry Lex, will do an MP3 later today/tomorrow.
Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 Apr 14 2018, 01:48 PM
Ahhhhhhhhh an old pop potential of mine just came on shuffle and now I'm rethinking my confirmation DO I REALLY WANNA GO WITH WEIRD DANCE THIS MONTH
Posted by: lewistgreen Apr 14 2018, 01:54 PM

Posted by: Berrier Cody Apr 15 2018, 12:16 AM
Do we not have an Azure entry this time?
Posted by: Addyland Apr 15 2018, 12:47 AM
Are we on 60 entrants or little less than that?!
Regardless, I'm excited to find out what everybody have submitted
Posted by: LexC Apr 15 2018, 11:29 AM
thank you everyone for your confirmations, at close of play we have 57 participants this month which means that your glamorous hosts and them alone will automatically qualify for the final. Please stay tuned for the opening of the semi final thread which should be...soon.
Posted by: gooddelta Apr 15 2018, 11:35 AM
Damn, an AQ would have been nice to soften the blow of losing the win on a tie but I keep missing out in these 50/50 situations
Posted by: Dexton Apr 15 2018, 11:35 AM
I don't think i'll ever not say this buttt.... how many entries did we have last month?
Posted by: UltraReputation Apr 15 2018, 11:36 AM
(It's not the kind of pop that they would appreciate, but life is not perfect.)Ready to take back my place at the bottom of the semi.
Yasssss *.* Ready to hear it anyway
Posted by: Bré Apr 15 2018, 11:53 AM

Posted by: Bré Apr 15 2018, 04:04 PM
Consider me interested ;o x
